comment period and otherwise consult with members of the public and 
affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of information. 
The OMB has promulgated regulations describing what must be included in 
such a document. Under OMB's regulation, See 5 CFR 1320.8(d), an agency 
must ask for public comment on the following:
    (i) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) how to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
    (iv) how to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses.
    In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks for public 
comments on the following collection of information:
    Title of Collection: Petitions for Hearings on Notification and 
Remedy of Defects.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0039.
    Affected Public: Businesses or others for profit.
    Abstract: Sections 30118(e) and 30120(e) of Title 49 of the United 
States Code specify that any interested person may petition NHTSA to 
hold a hearing to determine whether a manufacturer of motor vehicles or 
motor vehicle equipment has met its obligation to notify owners, 
purchasers, and dealers of vehicles or equipment of a safety-related 
defect or noncompliance with a Federal motor vehicle safety standard in 
the manufacturer's products and to remedy that defect or noncompliance.
    To implement these statutory provisions, NHTSA promulgated 49 CFR 
part 557, Petitions for Hearings on Notification and Remedy of Defects. 
Part 557 establishes procedures providing for the submission and 
disposition of petitions for hearings on the issues of whether the 
manufacturer has met its obligation to notify owners, purchasers, and 
dealers of safety-related defects or noncompliance, or to remedy such 
defect or noncompliance free of charge.
    Estimated annual burden: During NHTSA's last renewal of this 
information collection, the agency estimated it would receive one 
petition a year, with an estimated one hour of preparation for each 
petition, for a total of one burden hour per year. That estimate 
remains unchanged with this notice.
    Number of respondents: 1.
    Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Department, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize 
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.
    All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the 
request for OMB approval.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c); delegation of authority at 49 CFR 
1.50 and 501.8(f).
